'Koha' is Te Reo Maori for gift. This photograph was taken on iPhone in Wellington, New Zealand. The shell and surrounding moonstones I found about a month before on Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles. It is one of the most beautiful set of gifts I have ever been given. The shell beautifully illustrates Phi in all its perfection.

inanga > The Polymath

I'll let wonderful wiki do all the talking:

"Walter Russell (1871–1963) was an American polymath, known[1] for his achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.[2][3] He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This physical theory, laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light (1947) and The Message of the Divine Iliad (1948–49), has not been accepted by mainstream scientists.[4] Russell asserted that this was mainly due to differences between himself and scientists in their assumptions about the existence of mind or matter.[5] Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy. He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.[6]

In 1963, Walter Cronkite in the national television evening news, commenting on Dr. Walter Russell's passing, referred to him as "... the Leonardo DaVinci of our time."[7]"

dedicated to Walter Russell, a man before his time...

inanga > Deep into the Ecliptic

Inspired by the work of Jabir ibn-Hay'yan (alias Nick Herbert). Google Nick as he is a veritable fount of wisdom. Probably the best feed to find him on is:

http://deoxy.org.

If you don't find Nick there (he may have gone to the Far Shore) you will certainly get oodles of info on Terence McKenna. McKenna has unlocked myriad secrets of the mind, the King Wen sequence of the I Ching and the zero timeline of 2012.

Some wisdom from Our Master:

'Self-realized State: Unicity

In the Unicity of the Self-realized state, the enjoyer and the object of enjoyment, the observer and the observed have become merged in the mystic realization of the Unicity, as if, in the words of Janeshwar:

"Fragrance has become the nose in order to smell itself, sound has become the ear in order to hear itself."

All perception remains as pure mirrorization without any reactive interpretation: there is only seeing, hearing, tasting, etc., without the objective interference of a see-er, hear-er, taste-er, etc. The senses may run according to their nature towards objects which gratify them, but there is no experience separate from the experience, just as when the sight meets the mirror there is awareness that the image in the mirror is not different from the face. In other words, an ordinary person identifies himself with the object that is undergoing an experience (whether it is enjoyable or painful), but the Self-realized person becomes the experience.'

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions. 
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

inanga > Going 3-D Swirling

3-D pic - dedicated to SmugMug - you are all geniuses (or is that genii?)

From 'Synthesis of Yoga' by Sri Aurobindo [A description of the preparation necessary for Transmigration of Souls - 'The Divine Work']

'In the Way of Knowledge we may arrive at a point where we can leap out of personality and universe, escape from all thought and will and works and all way of Nature and, absorbed and taken up into Eternity, plunge into the Transcendence; that, though not obligatory on the God-knower, may be the soul's decision, the term pursued by the self within us.

In the Way of Devotion we may reach through an intensity of adoration and joy union with the supreme All-Beloved and remain eternally in the ecstasy of his presence, absorbed in him alone, intimately in one world of bliss with him; that then may be our being's impulsion, its spiritual choice.

BUT in the Way of Works another prospect opens; for travelling on that path, we can enter into liberation and perfection by becoming of one LAW and power of nature with the Eternal; we are identified with him in our will and dynamic self as much as in our spiritual status; a divine way of works is the natural outcome of this union; a divine living in a spiritual freedom the body of self-expression.

In the Integral Yoga these three lines of approach give up their exclusions, meet and coalesce or spring out of each other.

Liberated from the mind's veil over the self, we live in the Transcendence, enter by the adoration of the heart into the oneness of a supreme love and bliss, and all our forces of being uplifted into the one Force, our will and works surrendered into the one Will and Power, assume the dynamic perfection of the Divine Nature."
